Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site

Following eight years in the White House, Ulysses and Julia Grant needed a break. What began&nbsp;as a trip to London to visit their daughter, Nellie, ultimately turned into an unprecedented&nbsp;2-1/2 year tour around the world. As a war hero and former president, Grant was greeted&nbsp;as a celebrity and unofficial ambassador. Park Guide Jared Clark follows the Grant’s&nbsp;adventure as they traveled around the world. The program is free. Call 314-842-1867 ext.&nbsp;230 for reservations.
